Abstract
Higher production rates and improved part quality at lower cost are key objectives for all composites manufacturers. A new generation of automated tape laying (ATL) machines from North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT) offers a versatile and efficient automation solution accessible to smaller manufacturers, enabling them to reduce labor costs and materials wastage, whilst enhancing part quality and retaining full design freedom. Thomas Ricard, NTPT Technical Director - Materials & Automation, discusses the benefits of the company's ATL technology and outlines some of its possible applications.
